Pentium 4 6XX Sequence and New EE P4s Launched

Posted by timothy on from the james-bond-stole-this-stuff-in-1963 dept.

Mojo-Dog writes "Today Intel took the wraps off their new Pentium 4 Processors with EM64T extensions for 64-bit computing. The Pentium 4 6XX Sequence and Pentium 4 3.73GHz are based on Prescott 2M cores with a full 2MB of on-chip L2 cache as well. HotHardware.com has a full review with benchmarks posted of these new P4s, many of which also offer Intel's SpeedStep technology for power savings and improved thermals, which has been available in Pentium Mobile CPUs for some time now."

    No kidding. Nintendo had a 64 bit processor back in like, '96.

      But that version will cost you twice as much. Since 64 bits is like 2 32 bit processors, you'll have to get a 2 processor license.

    And how much did intel pay for this story on slashdot . It reads like a marketing blurb

    I think you misunderstand the way stories work on Slashdot. The first one is free. Intel has to pay for the duplicate story six hours from now.

    Literally 3 days after I ordered a processor, Intel comes out with a new one. I haven't even received the other one yet, and it is obsolete. ;-)
